I didn't give you a proper 'Hello." with the first chapter, so Hello. (:
Gerard's P.O.V.
It was dark. Maybe tenish?
I was laying on the grass in the backyard with my younger brother, Mikey. I looked at him and then back at the starry sky.
Then, it hit me.
School starts next week. I'll be a Senior and Mikey'll be a Freshman. I'm graduating this year.
"Gee?"
"Yeah, Mikey?"
"Um, how far away is that art school you're going to?" he asked awkwardly.
"Not that far, I suppose. Maybe an hour? And I'm not for sure going yet. Why?"
"Nothing... I'm just gonna miss you being around." His voice was hushed.
I turned over on my side, supporting my head with my hand, and looked at him.
"Hey. I'll still see you, ya know. I'm not gonna be gone forever. I'll be back for holidays, your birthday, mom's and dad's, mine. You'll still see me." I smiled.
Mikey looked at me through his thick rimmed glasses and smiled, too.
Just then, I heard a car pull up across the street. I turned my attention to the direction the noise was coming from.
It was dark, but I could see the car perfectly under the street light. It was a red station wagon.
Inside was a woman, dyed blonde, about my mother's age and her son.
He had this weird hair do. It was bleached blonde and shaved on both sides, although his dark roots were growing back in fast, and going down the middle, was long, black hair that covered his right eye. I could tell his lip and nose were pierced because the light from the street light made them gleam. I saw tattoos on his arms and one on his neck. He was short, about 5'4", maybe 5'5", and thin. He couldn't have been more than Mikey's age, fifteen.
Annie, our neighbor, opened the door and ushered them inside.
"Sooo..?" Mikey said.
"So, what?"
"Ya think Ma is gonna make us go meet them? You know how nosey her and Dad are."
"Nahh, I think she'll invite them over, instead."
"M-m."
"Five bucks."
"You're on."
We spit shook.
Oh, brotherly competition.
